Doug: Welcome back to Net Poker. Barry and Chris battle for the championship now in Joker Poker.
|
Doug: Since Chris won the first round, he got to cut the cards for this round. Joker Poker plays just like 5-Card Poker -- only the deck of cards now includes two Jokers. Once you get control of a Joker, you may use it for anything when your hand is complete. High scoring player at the end of the game wins the right to play for CY$100,000 in Deuces Wild Poker. (audience cheers) Deej, what are the first cards in this deciding round?
D.J.: We're going to begin with...
  |
D.J.: ...the Jack of Clubs and the 9 of Clubs.
Doug: Two clubs and 10 points up for grabs on this one...

Doug: Early 10-0 lead. Pick a card.
Chris: I *do* know Jack...I'll take the hook, please.
Doug: The Jack's yours. Barry takes the 9...
BARRY

Doug: ...time for 2 more cards, Deej.
D.J.: All righty...
  |
D.J.: ...hey! The Joker and the Ace of Clubs.
Doug: Interesting development for sure. Next query for 10...
"Chandler" is a...

\ character played by Matt LeBlanc on "Friends"
\ all of the above
\ none of the above
Doug: Chris again.
Chris: "Word that means someone who makes or sells candles or soap"
Doug: And he's right again.
Chris: Took a while to rememeber that Matt PERRY played Chandler.
Doug: Indeed that's the case. You lead 20-0. Which card?
Chris: Uh...decisions, decisions... Ah, heck, the Joker.
Doug: Both good cards for sure...

BARRY
|
Doug: Let's see what happens with this next pair. Deej?
D.J.: Comin' down the chute are...
  |
D.J.: ...whoo, the 10 of Hearts and the King of Clubs.
Doug: Indeed, "whoo" is right. One of you will be 3/5 of the way toward at least a potential flush. And with another Joker still somewhere in the deck, who knows what will happen. For now, here's the next 10-pointer...

Doug: My future wife really loves that video. OK, Barry, you control the cards now. Pick one.
Barry: the king of clubs
Doug: Going for the flush, I see...
|
BARRY
|
Doug: ...Chris has a potential pair of Jacks. Fourth pair of up cards now.
D.J.: And they are...
 |
D.J.: ...whoo! (smattering of applause) The 9 of Spades and the Joker.
Doug: With all these "whoos", I'm wondering if you're Merv Griffin's cousin. (light laughter from the crowd) Seriously, Barry could be one Club shy of a flush or Chris could be assured of at least three of a kind. A lot's riding on this next question...

Doug: She hosted The Swan and Paradise Hotel on Fox. Chris, I must ask per my contract, which card?
Chris: You oughta know which one, Doug. Gimme a pair of Jokers, please!
Doug: He's already gotten one Joker, he's asked for the other and...
|
BARRY
|
Doug: ...I think it's safe to say Chris has already put this game on ice. At the worst, he has three Jacks. Barry, the best you can hope for is three 9s. So, I tell ya what we'll do. Let's go ahead and set up for the 15-point blind card question.
 |
Doug: Barry, if you chime in and score these 15 points, I'll give you a chance to win CY$250. Here's the question.
Comedian Bobcat Goldthwait once...
\ ignited a fire on The Tonight Show set
\ hosted the game show Ruckus
\ all of the above
\ none of the above
Doug: Barry.
Barry: ignited a fire...
Doug: We'll take that. Ignited a fire on The Tonight Show set. (audience applause) Now, Barry, go ahead and pick a card.
Barry: the left card
Doug: Left card it is. Tell me for CY$250, do you think that card on the left is a face card or not?
Barry: it IS a face card
Doug: He says it is a face card. Deej, go ahead and turn it over, please.
 |
Doug: Queen of Spades. It's a face card, you win CY$250 more. (audience applause) However, this still only leaves you with a pair of 9s and, Chris, with Jack, 10 and two Jokers, you've won the game.

(winning bells; audience applause)
Doug: Just to make it all legit, Deej, please go ahead and complete the hands. As she does, Barry, thanks for playing. You've got a total of CY$3000 and that's certainly a nice piece of change. Thanks for playing Net Poker. A nice hand for Barry Brooks. (audience cheers)
 BARRY

Doug: And here's how the rest of the hands looked. Chris, you've ended up with three Aces. Now, you get to pick two letters in the words "POKER". If you uncover the CY$5000 and CY$2000 spaces, you win another CY$3000 for a total of CY$10,000. Plus, if the "TRIP" card appears above one of your selected letters, you're going to Greece. Pick two letters in "POKER" please.
Chris: P and R, please
D.J.: Hey, Doug.
Doug: Yes.
D.J.: It appears Chris did better than you thought. You could say he got trip Aces, Jacks or 10s -- but even better, he made an Ace high straight.
Doug: (counts the cards) Ah, yes! I was just so mesmerized by the Jokers. Anyhoo, let's reveal P and R simultaneously.
|
Doug: Well, got CY$5500 total. No 10-grand. But, did he get the Greek holiday?
|
(winning bells; audience cheers)
Doug: Yes he did!
|
|

Doug: CY$10,600, a Greek vacation and when we come back, Chris will play for CY$100,000 in Deuce Wild Poker. Stay with us.
